The Fiction Writers Limitations

In the February issue of The Forum
Prof Boyesen has pointed out truthfully
the limitations put upon the American
novelist by magazine editors and young
women readers. on whom he has to depend
for his chief support. The fiction writer
must not expose social OF religious
sham, because there are hundreds if not
thousands Of subscribers who believe in
this sham and would stop the magazine if
il were attacked If he takes up partic-
ular phase of life he must steer carefully,
SO as TO step ON nobody's toes, and if he
has extreme l~liefs and convictions, take
good care Ia keep them in proper re
straint. At the same time. Professor
Boyesen goes too far in assuming that
there Is no considerable audience of novel
readers in this country outside of the
young girl public. The contrary is
proved by an immense sale here of English
novels or translation from the French
and German, which present the boldeSt
treatment of serious social or moral
problems. The Epoch
